Joseph Baena is gunnin’ for his next project…

The 25-year-old half-Latino American actor, bodybuilder, fitness model and real estate agent will star opposite Luke Hemsworth and Morgan Freeman in the action film Gunner.

Directed by Dimitri Logothetis, which is now in production in Alabama, was penned by Logothetis and Gary Scott Thompson.

It follows special forces veteran Lee Gunner (Hemsworth) as he takes his two boys on a camping trip, where the boys stumble upon a fentanyl lab and are kidnapped by drug runners. Unfortunately for the drug runners, Lee will stop at nothing to get his boys back safely, going up against not only the criminal cartel, but the FBI and local police as well, using the full force of his deadly abilities to reunite his family.

Baena will portray Wally, a young, wet-behind-the-ears Deputy Sheriff.

Baena is a rising actor who has previously been seen starring alongside Thomas Mann, Rosa Salazar and John Malkovich in the indie sci-fi thriller Chariot, also appearing in the topical coming-of-age drama, Bully High.

Also coming up for the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who competed with Daniella Karagach on the 31st season of Dancing with the Stars, is the holiday film Athena Saves Christmas, in which he’ll appear opposite Cuba Gooding Jr.
